Setup instructions
So, Karen Bot is quite tightly integrated with my private API, which is good & bad news. The good news is that a lot of strain is taken off of Karen and put on my API, while the bad news is that someone without API access can't really run Karen that well. Fortunately, I have designed a lot of the API to have as little server-side processing as possible, ensuring a tedious simple transition to your own API or just saving files on your computer!
So this section will walk you through the necessary things to get Karen Bot at least slightly functional :)
As of 2021-12-19 the API has started doing a bunch of server-side processing. I will be opening up the API's code soon so people can spin up their own.
2022-04-23 update: yeah nah I can't be bothered
Discord token
This is going to be super simple
First, go to discord.com/developers/applications and click on the button "New application"
Then, name your application
Great! Now you have an application, but not a bot! To get a bot, create on the "Bot" tab on the sidebar, then when it asks you if you really want to create a bot, just say yes!
Wow, you can follow simple instructions, great! To get the token, click on "Copy" under the token while on the Bot tab. Now, be careful where you put it since tokens are basically like usernames and passwords for bots.
Aaand you're done with the token part, congratz! 🎉
Spotify OAuth token
First, go to developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications and log in/sign up (if you don't have a spotify account for some god awful reason)
Then, click on the big green "Create application" button and give it a name & description
Now you have a shiny Spotify application, great! So next, click on "Show client secret". Make sure not to leak the secret since it is, well, a secret!
Oh hey, already at the end of this section! Good job, go pat yourself on the back 🥳
Genius OAuth token
!> Genius API is not yet used in Karen Bot and thus doesn't yet need OAuth tokens
First, go to genius.com/developers/. Then create on the biggest button you can find, aka "Create an API client"
Then log in/sign up and you will be presented the API client creation screen. Fill in the name and if you want, the rest of the fields, then click "Save"
Now you will get to the "All API Clients" screen, great! Click "Generate Access Token" and save it! (Again, keep it super super private)
HOORAY! YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED AN EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY TO FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS, WAY TO GO! ONLY A FEW LEFT 🥳🎉
Clarifai AI Key
Now now now, this is the last one (for now)! Pat yourself on the back before proceeding.
You done? Good. First, go to clarifai.com and sign up
When you have signed up, click on "Create application" and set up the fields. BUT BEFORE YOU CONTINUE, YOU WILL NEED TO SET THE WORKFLOW TYPE TO MODERATION! IT IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT
Now, just copy the key and you're done!
Putting that all in .env
So, clone/fork the repo and create an .env file.
For each field, add the content to it in the .env file after the = (Remember, no spaces)
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| DISCORD_TOKEN | Discord token |
| SPOTIFY_ID | Spotify ID |
| SPOTIFY_SECRET | Spotify secret |
| GENIUS_ACCESSTOKEN | Genius access token |
| NSFAI_KEY | Clarifai key |
